Swedish papers to 'boycott Spears concert'

Swedish newspapers are planning to boycott Britney Spears's concert in Stockholm because of restrictions placed on their photographers, says The AP.

Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet, Expressen and Aftonbladet have reportedly announced that they will not send reporters to cover the 'Womanizer' star's show in the capital tonight.

It is understood that Spears has requested certain restrictions on how images from the event can be used, including the requirement that no photographs can be published more than 30 days after the show.

The contract is also reported to ban newspapers from reselling the images to third parties, leading Dagens photo editor Roger Turesson to say that "the next step would be to tell critics they can't write anything critical".

Representatives for Spears's record label Song BMG have yet to comment.
